What is the GCF of 132 and 432

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the prime factorization of 132

132 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 11

Find the prime factorization of 432

432 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 3

To find the gcf, multiply all the prime factors common to both numbers:

Therefore, GCF = 2 * 2 * 3

GCF = 12

To get the Greates Common Factor (GCF) of 132 and 432 we need to factor each value first and then we choose all the copies of factors and multiply them:

132: 2 2 3 11

432: 2 2 2 2 3 3 3

GCF: 2 2 3

The Greates Common Factor (GCF) is: 2 x 2 x 3 = 12
